Good luck! |
Oh yeah, she is exactly right.
I've been worrying over my furkids lately because we have roofers. The noises make them abandon their fresh veggies if I feed the veggies after the roofers have started. The guineas are quiet all day.
The each hide in their hideys on the weekdays. Poor babies. It must be stressful. They end up being pretty silent in the evening afterwards. I've been increasing their vitamin c veggies just in case and gave them an extra blankie to cuddle/hide in.
And as far as coughing. It is hilarious! My boyfriend coughs every once in a while just for their reaction. Most of them learned the reaction from Maple, but they will make this instant buzz response after we cough saying that they hate that I coughed, and they hide in their hideys.
After I was coughing for a long time from a fall sickness, Maple became immune to the cough and now just the boys respond. It's funny.
With sneezing, they all just scatter and run for their hideys. Then Sugar comes out with her nervous chitter exploring.
